It would if there were free, but they're not :)
I wonder what all the cost would be? I'm thinking of them as essentially a syntax sugar for pcall/xpcall, so:
try
    do_things()
catch(ex)
    report_error(ex)
end

would translate to:
local ok, ex = pcall(function() --or xpcall?
    do_things()
end); if not ok then
    report_error(ex)
end

the idea being to just make it a little less ugly. :)
